DB10 Relay mounting position

I’m fitting a new DB10 relay on a restored car, but I’m not sure if my car has the right mounting holes already in the inner wing. Can someone please post a picture showing the DB10 in its original factory position please? Surprisingly I can’t find a pic in either my Original Morris Minor book or an...

Anyone seen AUK 925 H, Maroon Traveller "Little Auk&quo

This was my father's car that I learnt to drive in. It WAS in the Bath area a few years ago, but DVLA has it Untaxed since 2006 (probably SORNed?) DVLA site says: The vehicle details for AUK 925H are: Date of Liability 01 06 2006 Date of First Registration 06 03 1970 Year of Manufacture Not Availabl...

Re: URGENT! Axle Casing Needed TODAY - Rockingham

Thank you, thank you to Matt and Dom and all the wonderful people who helped us with this, you are all stars in the true spirit of motor racing. We thought were loading Bluebell up and going home, but the OUMF boys and Jez Thomas (one of our rivals!) wouldn't let us. For me, if the last few inches o...

Re: Minors Racing

Thanks BMCEcosse. Yes we have to have steel wheels but tend to run 13" ones from Weller now rather than old Midget ones. It's a 4.55 diff by the way, oops, not 5.55! I used to change diffs all the time but rarely do now. Sometimes we could use a little more top speed so would liked to try a 4.2...

Re: Minors Racing

Nice to hear from you all and thanks for the interest. She's got good bits where they are vital, I admit, because she is a race car, and I want to finish, not break down. So a quick spec: The 948 engine is fitted with Powermax pistons to 998 Mini Cooper size, on rods I prepared which have teflon but...

Re: Minors Racing

Yes! We were invited for the first and probably only time last year, after so many years of believing we weren't in the same league. An amazing event and such an honour.[frame]Image[/frame]

Re: Minors Racing

It's as cheap as racing can be. People tell you racing is never going to be cheap.... I argue (to my lovely assistant) that it's less than most people seem to spend paying for a dull modern car each month. But I do virtually everything myself. Some don't and spend silly money on engines, then we fin...

Minors Racing

Some may be interested in knowing that Minors are still racing in the UK with some success. Our 1959 saloon "Bluebell" races in the HRDC (Historic Racing Drivers Club) series for 1950s Saloon cars, and the HRDC fun promotional video is here..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZunM2kaE7Y B...

Hi.
If it's still needed, I'd recommend Larkhall MOT centre, 6 Beaufort Mews in Larkhall which is walkable to/from the city. 01225 442135. A proper old style garage who know old cars. If anything needs fixing, Fred's next door can usually do it.
Mail me if you're stuck!
